kev, I think you might be talking at cross purposes here. High beam assist is a standard feature in the MY21 builds and just turns the headlights onto full beam if the car doesn't think there's a car on the road ahead of you (or coming towards you). Combined with the headlights in auto it's a sort of "enable and forget" option that keeps the lights at the brightest they can be as conditions allow.
It's not an option I like myself and I disabled it. My father's previous car had it and it annoyed me more than I found it useful so I would normally disable it each time I got in the car at night.
As for why it isn't working for the OP, with everything enabled as it should be, I have no idea. I'd try again, now that you know everything is enabled as it should be (with the headlights set to 'auto') when it's properly dark and go out onto a country lane if possible. If that still doesn't work then I suspect you will need to talk to Jaguar.

As per my previous post, high beam assist simply 'assists' the driver by enabling full beam when it thinks it's safe to do so. It doesn't alter the shape of the beams, it is just there to save you having to turn full beam on and off manually. The Pixel lighting stuff does all the fancy beam shaping and is, as you mentioned before, a £1200 option on all but the R variant.

Isn't it known as Matrix Lighting? That's what the I-Pacers seem to call it, even when it doesn't work for them!
